  • (In Re News Item Published in the Asian Age Authored by Sanjay Kaw
    1 UPDATED REPORT OF OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IN COMPLIANCE OF ORDER OF HON’BLE NATIONAL GREEN TRIBUNAL PASSED IN O.A. NO. 1038/2018 IN RE: NEWS ITEM PUBLISHED IN “THE ASIAN AGE” AUTHORED BY SANJAY KAW TITLED “CPCB TO RANK INDUSTRIAL UNITS ON POLLUTION LEVELS” *** I. INTRODUCTION The Hon’ble NGT dealing with the matter of O.A. No. 1038/2018 vide order dated 10.07.2019 considered the issue in regard to the remedial action against the polluting industries in the identified polluting industrial clusters. The Tribunal, vide order dated 13.12.2018, treated the news item published in “The Asian Age” dated 06.12.2018 authored by Mr. Sanjay Kaw titled “CPCB to rank industrial units on pollution levels” as an application in view of substantial question of environment which could be dealt with by the Tribunal under Sections 14, 15 and 20 of the National Green Tribunal Act, 2010. Purpose of economic development in any region is to provide opportunities for improved living by removing poverty and unemployment. While industrial development invariably creates more jobs in any region, such development has to be sustainable and compliant with the norms of environment. In absence of this awakening or tendency for monitoring, industrialization has led to environmental degradation on account of industrial pollution. It is imperative to ensure that steps are taken to check such pollution to uphold statutory norms. Adequate and effective pollution control methods are necessary. Dust, smoke, fume and toxic gas emissions occur as a result of highly polluting industries such as thermal power plants, coal mines, cement, sponge iron, steel and ferro-alloys, petroleum and chemicals unless right technology is used, and precaution taken.

Vol No.10 Issue No. 1 Re.1/- RNI No. TNBIL2003/10675 January- February, 2014 Message From Chairman Conference on Animal Welfare & Canine Rabies Control Animal Birth Control as a Tool Towards Rabies Control Domesticated and befriended by human beings many thousands of years ago, perhaps no creature has been such an endearing symbol of love, affection, gratitude, courage and loyalty as the dog. Dogs have provided companionship to children, young people, senior citizens, soldiers and millions of people around the world from all ages and all walks of life for so many aeons. Rightfully, dogs have always been referred to as human being's best friend. I have personally experienced amazing incidents of indomitable courage, loyalty and boundless affection displayed by the dogs in the two dog commando squads that I was in charge of while working in the Indian army. The Board is a statutory and advisory body of the Government of India, whose mandate is to reduce the suffering of all animals and especially to improve the welfare of the street dogs and the abandoned cattle.

  • (GPS) and Smart Phone Technology in Rabies Control Program in Kotagiri, Nilgiris District, India E
    Nepalese Vet. J. 35:122-133 Using Mapping, Global Positioning System (GPS) and Smart Phone Technology in Rabies Control Program in Kotagiri, Nilgiris District, India E. Pandey1,*, D.K. Singh2, R. Raut3 1Vet for Your Pet Small Animal Clinic, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Tribhuvan University, Nepal 3Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this study, we utilized a catch-vaccinate-release approach for dogs in a canine rabies vaccination program in Kotagiri municipality, India. Following vaccination, surveys on dog population and their vaccination status was undertaken. A bespoke smartphone ‘Mission Rabies’ application was developed to facilitate data entry and team management. This global positioning system (GPS) enabled application captured the location of all vaccinated dogs and dogs sighted on post-vaccination surveys. In areas where coverage was below 70%, catching teams were re-deployed to vaccinate additional dogs followed by repeat survey. Out of 248 dogs captured, only 210 dogs were vaccinated because of the previous vaccination history within a year, and refusal of owner due to their misconceptions. In survey, 147 dogs were sighted of which 77 were seen marked with paints indicating a vaccination coverage of 52.4%. The total estimated dog population was found to be 475. Our study demonstrated that mobile technology enabled effi cient team management and real-time data entry and analysis. The vaccination approach outlined in this study can serve as a guideline for rapid vaccination of large numbers of dogs with a high coverage rate in free roaming dog populations in India in the future.
